Zhou Rui held his hand, and He Muchen obediently closed his eyes, thus being pulled out of the haunted house by Zhou Rui.

He didn't sense any ghosts approaching to scare them along the way, and the second half of the journey was smoother than the first half.

Because Zhou Rui was begging the ghost that kept scaring them to stay away from him.

Zhou Rui and He Muchen walked out of the haunted house and sat on a bench to wait for He Jingshen and the others. Zhou Rui took out a piece of candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to He Muchen.

"Honey, have a piece of candy to calm your nerves."

He Muchen pulled down his mask, put his mouth to Zhou Rui's hand, and ate the candy.

How did you get this candy?

Zhou Rui smiled and crumpled the candy wrapper in his hand into a ball. Of course, he knew He Muchen liked this candy, so he bought a lot of it and habitually kept a few in his pocket.

"Because I like to eat them! So I habitually put a few in my pocket."

"Then you like the same thing as me. I also really like this flavor of candy."

He knows what his partner likes and will try to like what his partner likes, which will make him feel like he's one step closer to him.

"Honey, are you feeling better? Want another one?"

"No need, I'm much better now. I'm sorry my wife had to laugh at me today."

"No, everyone has things they're afraid of. I'm so glad you were brave enough to come in with me today, allowing me to see a different side of He Muchen. Thank you."

He Muchen looked at Zhou Rui, who was gazing at him with deep affection. The look of love in Zhou Rui's eyes was truly captivating.

"Why are you thanking me?" He Muchen gently rubbed his head.

"Because of you, I feel that I am of some use to you."

?

"I feel like I'm of no use to you. As your assistant, I need you to remind me all the time. As your partner, I don't seem to be very good either."

He Muchen looked at him in surprise, then patted his head reassuringly, "As long as you stay by my side and love me well, that's enough. I don't need you to do anything."

"But I..."

"My brother and the others are out, honey, look at what my brother is wearing!" He Muchen pointed in surprise at the entrance of the haunted house.

Zhou Rui turned his head and looked over, his eyes widening in surprise, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"Honey, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like a person."

He Muchen walked over, with Zhou Rui following behind.

Ho King-sun lifted Lau Kei by the bottom and carried him all the way out of the haunted house.

He quite liked the haunted house, but it was a bit physically demanding. He'll bring the little one next time.

Zhou Rui stood behind him and exclaimed loudly, "Our second brother's arm strength is really impressive."

He Muchen finally caught his second brother red-handed; his usually refined and polite second brother was having an affair with his driver.

No wonder my second brother would kindly arrange a driver for me, and whenever I couldn't find Liu Qi, my second brother would always kindly arrange his driver for me.

He Muchen put his arm around Zhou Rui's shoulder and pinched Zhou Rui's cheek. "Wife, my arm strength should be no less than my second brother's. You can try hanging on me too."

Upon hearing Zhou Rui and He Muchen's voices, Liu Qi looked up from his neck and saw that they had left the haunted house. He immediately broke free from He Jingshen's embrace and got off him.

Blushing, she lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, senior."

"Senior?" Zhou Rui and He Muchen exclaimed in surprise in unison.

"What are you two surprised about? So what if we go to the same school? Is that so strange?"

Ho King-sun put his arm around Lau Kei, who was looking down shyly.

"It's not surprising, it's not surprising, it's just that I feel the relationship between the two of you is a bit too good."

"Honey, don't you think so?"

Zhou Rui turned to look at He Muchen, and bumped right into him. He didn't know that He Muchen had been watching him the whole time.

"Hmm, second brother, don't tell me you two are just senior and junior."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi excitedly pulled away from He Jingshen's arm around his shoulder and quickly explained, "The Second Young Master and I are just ordinary senior and junior classmates."

"I was afraid of the dark and ghosts in the haunted house, so I jumped on my senior for help. I haven't had a chance to thank him yet."

"Oh... I'm afraid of the dark and ghosts, so I jumped onto my senior for help. Luckily, he's a nice guy, so he hugged me the whole way."

"How come I don't have such a great senior?" Zhou Rui said with a grin.

He Muchen pinched his cheek jealously, "You want your senior?"

"No, honey, I was just gossiping about my second brother and sister-in-law."

He Jingshen was very pleased to hear Zhou Rui say this, finding it very pleasing to the ear, and smiled:

"No need for gossip, she is indeed your second sister-in-law."

"What second sister-in-law? I'm not, I'm just your good junior." Liu Qi stomped on his foot and glared at him.

(That pervert! He just spouts such hurtful things. When did I become his wife? We're just bed partners at best.)

"Wife, you're using too much force, my feet hurt." He Jingshen moved even closer to Liu Qi, taking it a step further.

"Wife?" He Muchen, Zhou Rui, and Liu Qi looked at him in unison.

"Since you've already found out, I'll formally introduce you. This is my boyfriend." He Jingshen pulled Liu Qi into his arms.

"Please don't treat my wife too badly."

“Okay, okay, I won’t make you do anything, I’ll drive from now on…” Zhou Rui said with a smile.

"I'm really not your wife, senior. Can you explain this clearly?" Liu Qi said, pulling on He Jingshen's arm.

"How do you explain that you were pulling and tugging at me, clinging to me, and holding my arm intimately?"

“They both saw it. I can’t explain it to them. They’ll just pretend they don’t hear it. They might as well just admit our relationship.”

Ho King-sun spoke with a straight face and made perfect sense, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"But we aren't..."

"Nothing? Didn't anything happen between you and me?"

"Don't I hand over my monthly salary to you?"

Ho King-sun recounted the events that had transpired between them in a very serious manner, albeit using a different phrasing to describe their relationship.

Zhou Rui and He Muchen stood there, stunned, and looked at each other.

"Salary? That's not what you give me..."

"Stop talking. My brother and sister-in-law are still alive. My brother is still young. It's not suitable for children." He Jingshen patted his hand and smiled.

"Mu Chen, where are you planning to go next? Back to the hotel or..."

"Honey, do you want to keep playing or go back to the hotel?" He Muchen turned to ask Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui's big head was still preoccupied with He Jingshen and Liu Qi's affairs. "Ah, I want to play..."

"Second brother, we're not going back to the hotel."

He Jingshen looked speechlessly at his silly younger brother, who was already so obedient to his wife before anything had even happened.

If I listen to my wife more, will she become a sweet and gentle wife like my sister-in-law?

He Jingshen pushed up his glasses, coughed lightly, and said gently, "Wife, do you still want to play?"

Liu Qi pouted, "I want to play, but could you please stop calling me 'wife,' senior? It feels awkward."
